AnswersAnswers
  1. It's two - actor Jesse Eisenberg. One is British actor James Buckley, three is Juno star Michael Cera and four is Hollywood old-timer Mark Wahlberg.
  2. It's Adrian Mole - the Red Sock Revolution was initiated by his paramour Pandora after Mole was penalised for wearing red socks to school. Liverpool FC's board has agreed a deal with Boston Red Sox owner New England Sports Ventures, although it is being fought by Liverpool's current owner.
  3. It was "people". Mr Cameron repeated the word "people" 28 times - two fewer than "government". "Society" featured 23 times and "generation" - a watchword of Labour leader Ed Miliband's speech - just twice.
  4. It was Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston. The single was released in 1966. A version by Stewart and Turner reached number 5 in the UK charts in the early 1990s.
  5. It was the head teacher of Orpington in Kent who ate the venomous spider. It was imported from Cambodia where they are considered a delicacy.
  6. It's a domestic cat - which this Prorotodactylus would roughly have been the same size as. Scientists announced this week that footprints of this Prorotodactylus led them to believe that dinosaurs walked the Earth nine million years earlier than previously thought.
  7. It was Princess Diana. Mugabe's Zimbabwe resigned from the Commonwealth and Bolt could not attend the Games because of scheduling issues. Mr Kalmadi told a news conference "Yes, Princess Diana was there" before correcting himself to say "Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall".
